The hash is verified by passing the password into the PBKDF HMAC-SHA-256 hash method and then comparing the resulting hash to the saved hash portion, converted back from the Base64 version.
PasswordSaved hash to binary, then separate the hash Convert the password to binary using UTF-8 encoding PBKDF2,HMAC,SHA-256(toBinary(password, salt, 10001) == hash Password: "Patient3"

Breaks down to (with the strings converted to standard Base64 (change '.' to '+' and add trailing '=' padding:

Decoded to hex:

Which makes sense: 16-byte (128-bit) salt and 64-byte (512-bit) SHA-512 hash.
Converting "Patient3" using UTF-8 to a binary array Converting the salt from a modified BASE64 encoding to a 16 byte binary array AnUsing an iteration count od 10001 Feeding this to PBKDF2 using HMAC with SHA-512
I get
C3D8FD00C5662803F5ECEA2C0AA0F10EFDA18ECBF394BA45F11ADAF08EE9FDBE7BE3AAE0859F16AE01230E9BD71B984BCF551E34BCE015AF350EB6F1D9BEFE86
Which when Base64 encoded, replacing '+' characters with '.' and stripping the trailing '=' characters returns: w9j9AMVmKAP17OosCqDxDv2hjsvzlLpF8Rra8I7p/b5746rghZ8WrgEjDpvXG5hLz1UeNLzgFa81Drbx2b7.hg
